Just need some advice from people...
I have 100 bucks to burn in the form of a newegg gift card and have been wanting to cool my system a bit and shoot for some noise reduction.
On top of the Zalman CNPS 10X Performa for my CPU which so far my research shows is a great cooler for the price, I was considering getting the Zalman VF3000A Vga Cooler.
When playing Bad Company 2 my GPU temps get up to around 70c on a 850/1200 OC. Id like the push the GPU a little further if I could. (Asus EAH5850) . Also, CPU temps surpass 60-65c under SuperPi within a couple minutes on stock cooler.
Do any of you feel this would be a worth while upgrade for the cost? Or is the VGA cooler a waste.
Will also be adding 3 120mm case fans to my Antec 300.
Another consideration is I have an Raidmax 730 watt psu.. Yea.. I know... So im looking at a Corsair 750TX (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006)
Your advice and guidance is appreciated.
